perl-Bloom-Faster v1.7 (Perl extension for the c library libbloom)

Bloom filters are a lightweight duplicate detection algorithm proposed by Burton Bloom (http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=362692&dl=ACM&coll=portal), with applications in stream data processing, among others. Bloom filters are a very cool thing. Where occasional false positives are acceptable, bloom filters give us the ability to detect duplicates in a fast and resource-friendly manner.
